Well I'm not a V6 expert by any means but that oil pressure seems really low to me. I'm assuming that the V6 oils the top of the engine first like a LS engine and if it does then I wouldn't think that is the issue but it couldn't help your lifter problem either. Definitely sounds like a lifter and probably better to get it fixed immediately before it breaks because that kind of break van ruin your entire engine. And if you do have the lifter fixed I would also have the oil pump replaced with a high volume pump. Hopefully someone else will post what they think as well like a V6 owner.
